In addition, we will briefly explain some of the techniques used by unions to organize employees, and what management should and should not do to show employees that union representation is not in their best interests. In a prior booklet in this series, we explained the basic outline of the Act, the collective bargaining process, and conduct prohibited by the Act, known as "unfair labor practices."

The Civil Asset Forfeiture Reform Act 1997 (Testimony) Congressional testimony from Roger Pilon, Ph.D., J.D., Senior Fellow and Director Center for Constitutional Studies, Cato Institute, before the Committee on the Judiciary, United States House of Representatives, June 11, 1997. http://www.cato.org/testimony/ct-rp061197.html

The Civil Asset Forfeiture Reform Act 1997 STATEMENT of Roger Pilon, Ph.D., J.D. Senior Fellow and Director Center for Constitutional Studies Cato Institute Washington, DC before the Committee on the Judiciary United States House of Representatives June 11, 1997 Mr. Chairman, distinguished members of the committee: My name is Roger Pilon. I am a senior fellow at the Cato Institute and the director of Cato's Center for Constitutional Studies. I want to thank you, Mr. Chairman, for inviting me to testify before the committee on H.R. , the Civil Asset Forfeiture Reform Act of 1997. Your recent book on forfeiture, which I am pleased to have edited and the Cato Institute is proud to have published, is a refreshing call for reform. You are to be commended for having written it, for having introduced this bill, and, more generally, for having taken up the issue of forfeiture reform when so many in Congress have ignored it. That the state of our forfeiture law today is a disgrace is hardly in question. A body of "law" that enables law enforcement personnel to stop motorists and seize their cash on the spot, to seize and sometimes destroy boats, cars, homes, airplanes, and businesses in often fruitless drug searches, and even to kill and maim in the course of seizure operations is out of control. Even lawyers who come upon this area of the law for the first time are taken aback by the injustice and utter irrationality of it all. About the only people who defend forfeiture law today are those in law enforcement who benefit from it, either as a "tool of their trade" or, more directly, by keeping the goods they seizea conflict of interest so stark that it takes us to another age. In fact, that is just the problem with modern forfeiture law: in practice as well as in theory, its roots are in notions that have no place whatever in our legal system, animistic and authoritarian notions that countless people have died over the ages to bury and replace with the rule of law.

169. The TEACH Act It took almost 2 years, but the TEACH act finally became law in late 2002. The TEACH act expands the scope of educators rights to perform and display works http://www.utsystem.edu/ogc/intellectualproperty/teachact.htm

The TEACH Act Finally Becomes Law Introduction separate set of rights in addition to fair use, to display (show) and perform (show or play) others' works in the classroom apply to any work, regardless of the medium. Until recently, however, when the classroom was remote, the law's generous terms for face-to-face teaching in Section 110(1) shrank dramatically in Section 110(2) some would say to the vanishing point! The TEACH Act expands the scope of educators' rights to perform and display works and to make the copies integral to such performances and displays for digital distance education, making the rights closer to those we have in face-to-face teaching. But there is still a considerable gap between what the statute authorizes for face-to-face teaching and for distance education. For example, as indicated above, an educator may show or perform any work related to the curriculum, regardless of the medium, face-to-face in the classroom - still images, music of every kind, even movies. There are no limits and no permission required.

170. Regulation Of Investigatory Powers Act (2000) - Commentary A summary of the Regulation of Investigatory Powers act (RIPA), passed in the UK in July 2000. http://www.magnacartaplus.org/bills/rip/index.htm

by James Hammerton Web magnacartaplus.org Everyone has the right to respect for his private and family life, his home and his correspondence Article 8(1) of the European Convention on Human Rights. This document summarises the incursions into civil liberties of the Regulation of Investigatory Powers Act (RIPA), which was passed in the UK in July 2000. This act can be found at the HMSO web-site Index Summary Detailed discussion Summary The RIPA allows the government to access a person's electronic communications in a very unrestricted manner, thus infringing in the privacy of their correspondance in a manner many would not tolerate regarding their postal communications. The act: enables the government to demand that an ISP provides access to a customer's communications in secret; enables mass surveillance of communications in transit; enables the government to demand ISPs fit equipment to facilitate surveillance; enables the government to demand that someone hands over keys to protected information; ... prevents the existence of interception warrants and any data collected with them from being revealed in court Detailed discussion The RIPA incurs into civil liberties in several ways: The government can demand that a public telecommunications service intercepts an individual's communications The act's "interception warrants" can be served for purposes of "national security", "preventing or detecting serious crime" or "safeguarding the economic well-being of the UK". These (undefined) terms are so vague as to be applicable to just about anyone.
